Problems playing MKV files

Postby PhDJ » 22 Jun 2012 09:17

I always have problems playing MKV files.

The movie "stutters" sometimes and after a while the sound and image are no longer in sync.

When I play the same file with the Divx player it plays a bit better but it still "stutters" sometimes.

Am I missing anything ?

I thought that was the problem in the past, but now I have a brand new laptop and I still have the same problem, played a MKV yesterday and did not experience much problems, the file was smaller though, maybe that is the problem, if I try to play large MKV files ?

Are there any settings I can change to make playback run smoother ?
